SAFETY RULES FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Each organization is responsible for 
implementing procedures aimed at 
identifying, evaluating and controlling the 
environmental impact of its own activities 
(products, services, etc.).
The procedures to be followed to identi-
fy any signicant environmental impact 
should take into account the following 
factors:
– Emissions in the atmosphere
– Discharged liquids
– Waste disposal
– Soil contamination
– Use of raw materials and natural re-
sources
– Local problems related to the environ-
mental impact. In order to reduce the 
environmental impact, the manufacturer 
provides below a few indications to be 
taken into account by all those who will 
interact with the engine throughout its 
expected life.
– All packaging components should be di-
sposed of in accordance with the legisla-
tion in force in the country where disposal 
takes place.
– When installing the engine, ensure a 
suitable air renewal in the environment to 
protect the operators from a high concen-
tration of harmful substances.
– During operation and maintenance, do 
not throw away polluting products (oils, 
greases, etc) in the environment and 
carry out the differentiated waste disposal 
according to the composition of the diffe-
rent materials and in compliance with the 
legislation in force. Electric and electronic 
components should be carried out as 
special waste.
– Keep the exhaust pipelines efcient to 
limit the noise level of the engine and to 
reduce atmospheric pollution.
– While decommissioning the engine, 
divide all the components depending on 
their chemical composition and dispose of 
them accordingly.
RESIDUAL RISKS
During the design and construction 
phases, the Manufacturer paid special 
attention to the aspects which are liable to 
cause any risk for the safety and health of 
people interacting with the engine.
Despite this, some potential and hidden 
risks still exist.
   Danger of injuring your 
arms
Do not put your hands inside any moving 
part.
   Danger of being burnt
Pay attention to hot surfaces
